The Methodist Church's Advent and Christmas campaign for 2024 is called Hush the Noise.
You can find information about the campaign and how to get involved on this page. Resources, downloads and other assets will be made available in early September.
Hush the Noise
Join the love song this Christmas
Christmas is loud, isn’t it? So much expectation. So many voices. Telling us how to celebrate, what to wear, what to eat and drink, what to watch and what to buy.
Instead, this Christmas we’re inviting everyone to hush the noise. To listen for the love song that the angels bring, this and every year. They sang it for the first time more than 2,000 years ago, on the midnight clear. They’re just waiting for us to join in.
What is the plan?
We'll be directing people to a special page on our website throughout Advent, over Christmas and up to Epiphany, where they'll be able to watch our Christmas film, sign up for daily Christmas reflections and find their local Methodist Church. We'll also be running a social media campaign that engages unaffiliated people online.
There will be a number of products and assets available for Methodist communities, to download or order for free from September, to help them advertise and plan their Advent and Christmas services or events.
